What is an EASY EASY but effective way of removing tire stains from the concrete garage floor??
In vehicle dealership show rooms, they usually place pads of some type under each tire to avoid such stains. These tires are pretty new and don't have many miles on them yet. Any good sensible suggestions will be geatly appreciated?[Help]

Elbow Grease. It's usually available for free but can sometimes be difficult to locate as it is disguised as hard work. Mix with a little soap and water which is a lot easier to find.
Good luck.

Carbon Tetrachloride . . . if you can still find it. I think the EPA restricted its sale 10 years ago due to it being a carcinogen. Wear gloves and have plenty of ventilation.

TSP - can be found @ Lowe's or Home Depot and the like. Mix w/ water, apply with a stiff brush, rinse. Wear gloves. If that doesn't get it a mild solution of muratic acid applied with a wire brush, rinse. Wear gloves, sleeves, eye protection.

Yeah, I guess that could work for a lot of folks. However, in my much younger days, it was said that you could pretty well judge a man's character by the condition/appearance of his shoes. Unshined (this was long before sneakers) scuffed up and messy looking didn't say much good for the character of the wearer.
I guess I kinda feel that way about MY garage. Messy condition does kinda tell ME something about the owner. [Tooth][Tooth]

I'm with you. I take care of the things I spend my money on, garage included. I can't stand my dads place where you can never find what you need and it's always a disaster. My garage is organized and clean.

I keep my clean but I also use it as intended for vehicles.. so it gets dirty.. I've got mud and various other stains that get tracked in from my alley.. Nothing I can do unless I want to stop parking in it.. cept clean it when it's dirty.

The scout moved into town so I guess he likes to scout the city that he LOVES sooooooooo much[Tooth]
I live on a gravel road that still has a LOT of adobe mixed in so I do drag a lot of mud into my garage. I just keep it shoveled out in an effort to keep the garage kinda dirt dust free. It's an endless job.[Bang]
I use Purple power to clean my garage and driveway, this stuff works great. Just let it sit on there for 10 minutes or so, then rinse it away. Just make sure you do not dilute it down like it says on the bottle. When rinsing it away make sure you do not get it on your lawn as well.

+1 for purple power.
